Abstract: A data processing apparatus is operable to determine non-linear distortion applied to an image in which template signals have been introduced into at least first and second frequency bands of the image respectively, the template signals having a predetermined relationship with each other. The apparatus comprises an image dividing processor operable to generate data representative of selected parts of the image, a transform detection processor operable to generate at least one parameter representative of a linear transformation applied to each of the parts of the image, and a non-linear transform processor operable to estimate parameters of a non-linear transformation representative of the non-linear distortion applied to the image from the linear transform parameters of at least two parts of the image. 
     The data processing apparatus provides a facility for determining parameters of a non-linear transform representative of the distortion applied to the image as a whole. The distortion is therefore evaluated by generating linear transform parameters for different parts of the image and then determining the non-linear transform parameters in accordance with a relationship with the linear transform parameters. The linear transform may be the Affine transform, the parameters determined being Affine transform parameters. The non-linear transform may be the Perspective transform or a Polynomial transform, the non-linear transform parameters being evaluated from the linear transform parameters.

Abstract: A starter motor is prevented from being rotated together with an engine (2) after the start of a engine. When motor speed exceeds the cranking speed after the start of the engine, a speed judging section (36) judges that the starter motor is rotated together with the engine. A current-supply stopping section (38) commands to stop energizing a motor (3a) in response to the judge. After the electricity supply is stopped, if the rotation speed is reduced to a value close to the cranking speed, judging section (36) outputs a signal to cancel the current-supply stopping commands from the current-supply stopping section (38). The detection of the motor speed is also continued even after the ignition, and if the speed is further increased, the speed detection is stopped. If the speed is increased to a value showing complete explosion, the speed judging section (36) switches the relays to a generator.

Abstract: Determining whether a first wireless terminal may transmit on an uplink to a servicing base
station in a cellular wireless communication system includes first receiving a plurality of a
Radio Frequency (RF) bursts at a wireless terminal from a servicing base station. These RF
bursts carry a data block containing both Uplink Status Flag (USF) bits and Data bits. Data bits
may or may not be intended for the receiving wireless terminal. The RF bursts are processed to
produce the data block in an encoded format. This data block is then partially decoded to
extract the USF bits when the data bits are not intended for the receiving wireless terminal.
These USF bits determine when the receiving wireless terminal can transmit or uplink to the
servicing base station. The partial decoding may be halted once the USF bits have been
extracted from the received data block to reduce power consumption and processing
requirements.
